Methodology
Some past seasons are missing a game or two that has no closing line on file or did not match ESPN's final score, so those games are left out: 2020-21: 56 of 56 games; 2022-23: 82 of 82 games; 2024-25: 82 of 82 games. Final scores, closing moneylines, the closing 1.5 puck line and closing totals for every regular season game come from the Bet Legend game database; playoff games are excluded. Results include overtime and shootouts, as sportsbooks grade them, and every game is checked against ESPN's official final score. Moneyline units risk 1 unit at the close. Puck line units (where shown) use the sportsbook closing puck line and price ESPN publishes. A back to back is a game played the day after the previous one. These are market results, not BetLegend picks; our own picks are on the NHL betting record page.
